President Bola Tinubu will increase the salary of civil servants amidst skyrocketing inflation, the Senate said on Wednesday.
President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, in a statement, assured workers “of the readiness of the government to review the salaries of its workers as a move towards cushioning the effect of the removal of fuel subsidy.”
He said, “Nigeria as a country would not have survived the next few years if the fuel subsidy had not been removed, adding, salaries and wages of workers would be reviewed in order to ensure that Nigerians have a living wage.”
“The Senate is very proud of your representatives in the 10th National Assembly.
“They are committed and dedicated members of the legislature and that means the people of Ekiti, the “land of knowledge” have a lot to offer this country particularly, the Senate. We will work with Ekiti State for the overall benefit of Nigerians”, Akpabio said, in the statement released by his media office.
The Senate president reportedly declared the total support of the people and government to the success of his tenure as the President of the 10th Senate and their readiness to partner with the legislature to move the country forward.
